APPLETON - Chadwick Glasow, who for more than a decade ran the College Avenue bar Chadwick's, died last weekend. He was 47.

The Appleton native will be remembered for his sense of humor, clever one-liners, common-sense approach, among other things, said sister Stephanie Stenz of Green Bay. Along with having spent more than 12 years operating the tavern across the avenue from the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, Glasow was a hunter, golfer and builder.

Though he sometimes could show a tough exterior, Stenz said, her brother had a kind heart.

"He was just a thoughtful, giving, caring person," she said.

The bar at 413 W. College Ave. opened as Chadwick's in 2006. It had previously been known as the Philing Station and underwent an extensive renovation process after Glasow took over in 2005 his partners, sister Stacie Carbone and her husband Larry Carbone. In that overhaul, Glasow used carpentry skills he'd learned from his father to give a total revamp to the space that had become run down over the years.

"This is the culmination of my 12-plus years working and managing bars downtown," Glasow told The Post-Crescent at the time. He'd long wanted to be his own boss.

Before opening Chadwick's, Glasow ran Jim's Place from 1996 to 2004. He'd also worked at the Philing Station for a few years before that.

Family and friends are invited to a memorial service from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Wichmann Funeral Home, 537 N. Superior St., Appleton. Afterward, a celebration of Glasow's life will be held in downtown Appleton.
